The Glaskanone fires the main cannon at the crustacean's giant rear, shattering a hole in it's tough shell.

Schuhmacher: Jeff, it's exposed! Now is the time to grab your arm and hit it for all it's worth!Schmidt: Roger, but it's time to show this crab the memorable name of the Explosive Drillpack Special.

The Kalvinator Mk 20 grabs the Saviour Beam and fires it at the crab, managing to hit it where it's exposed.

Jackson: Sirs, I cannot bring it to the south and it is fleeing towards Hawaii. I am firing with extreme prejudice.Admiral Farragut: Very well. You are to blow that thing into bloody chunks.

The Stahlräuber stands straight and opens a hatch from it's torso, allowing a small mech to emerge. The Mech runs fast towards the giant crab and leaps into it's side, hooking itself onto the beast and drilling it's way through the tough shell. It wasn't able to drill fully into the beast, but the explosion still does a heck of alot of damage.

The Giant crab's back legs and shell are shattered on it's right side and it's surviving meaty innards are thrown into the ocean, the rest is too burnt to function as a living organism. The body goes limp and the pilots are thankful the cockpits are airtight.

Shortly after, the Stahlräuber, Glaskanone and Kalvinator Mk 20 are escorted to Oahu for repairs by the NAU Navy. While Kris and Friedrich are celebrated as excellent pilots, Jeff is taken prisoner.

Am I present when this question is asked?When Jeff gets arrested I protest: "Sir, with all due respect, I have to protest. He is as much a hero as we are. Maybe even more since he drew the enemy's attention on himself."The Highland Security Corporation are mercenaries and the accusations might be true - or not. I plan make contact with my own superiors when I have some privacy and ask them about Jeff, the accusations and if ulterior motives (like confiscation of the Stahlräuber for reverse engeneering) could be involved. I thank Kris for the good cooperation and try to enjoy the celebrations. Then I await the debriefing.

"With all due respect sir, that is a problem, but a small one for the moment. He was just as valuable out there as Friedrich and I, if not more. I we should worry about that small stuff for after all this is over, we could be attacked again at any minute."

I speak to Kris privately: "Jeff was set up. A conspiracy to steal the Stahlräuber. I will do what I can to help him. Are you in? That will mean you have to work against your own country. Maybe we speak with Jeff first. Then we see if we can get rid of the fake evidence."

After that I try to contact Jeff. Maybe the guards are nice enough to let me visit him.
